Formerly, European Technical Approval Guidelines (ETA Guidelines or ETAGs) were elaborated upon the mandate of the European Commission in order to establish how Approval Bodies should evaluate the specific characteristics/requirements of a construction product or a family of construction products. ETAGs were used as basis for European Technical Approvals (ETAs) until 30th June 2013.As of 1st of July 2013 no new ETAGs will be developed. Published ETAGs may be used by TABs as EADs and their technical assessment methods can serve to issue ETAsssessments
